Somerset wedding photographer · the easy run east
Somerset is the easy run east. I would like more weddings in it.
Bath at one end, the Levels and the Quantocks at the other, and a county full of the kind of barn, farm and honey-stone house that suits the way I photograph a day.
The approach
Documentary wedding photography in Somerset. Nothing staged.
I photograph the day as it actually happens, quietly, from close enough to hear the joke and far enough not to be in it. No group-photo marathon and nothing staged: a short family list, a few relaxed portraits with gentle direction, and the rest exactly as it happens.
Being straight with you
Somerset is new ground for me, and I would rather say so.
I have not built up years of Somerset weddings, and a photographer who claims local knowledge he has not earned is not worth booking. What I bring instead is nearly a thousand weddings of craft: reading a room, absorbing a schedule that has slipped, and knowing which five minutes of the day actually matter.
Where I do not know a venue I go and walk it beforehand, at the hour your ceremony falls, and talk to the coordinator before the day itself.
I photograph the whole day, from the quiet bit in the morning to the dancefloor. Nobody is counting hours, because I do not sell them.
I am based in Cornwall, so the run east is short and familiar. Travel is included in the price and I stay locally the night before where it makes sense.
Over a hundred edited images in your inbox the day after. The full gallery, 800 or more, within sixteen weeks.
The sun sets around 9.30pm in late June, 7.30pm in mid-September and 4.05pm in December.
Silent shutter, backup cameras on me all day, and a drone where the venue allows it. The full list of what is included.
